Modification of First Embodiment
[0056]An exemplary configuration and operations of the in-vehicle input device 110 according to a modification of the first embodiment of the present invention will now be described with reference to FIGS. 2 and 5. FIG. 5 is an enlarged sectional view of part of the in-vehicle input device 110.
[0057]As illustrated in FIG. 2, the in-vehicle input device 110 includes two touch panels 18 mounted on the right and left of the central part 60a of the steering wheel 60 of the vehicle such that the touch panels 18 are adjacent to the wheel part 60b, or so that the operator can easily operate the in-vehicle input device 110.
[0058]The in-vehicle input device 110 differs from the in-vehicle input device 100 in that each touch panel 18 includes a contact member 19 as illustrated in FIG. 5. The in-vehicle input device 110 has the same configuration as that of the in-vehicle input device 100, except for the contact member 19. A description of the configuration excl...
second embodiment
[0067]An exemplary configuration and operations of the in-vehicle input device 200 according to the second embodiment of the present invention will now be described with reference to FIGS. 2, 6, 7A, and 7B. FIG. 6 is an enlarged plan view of part of the in-vehicle input device 200. FIGS. 7A and 7B are enlarged sectional views of parts of the in-vehicle input device 200. FIG. 7A is a sectional view of part including a first operation area 25b of the in-vehicle input device 200. FIG. 7B is a sectional view of part of the in-vehicle input device 200 in which the first operation area 25b is used as the first detecting unit and a second operation area 25c is used as the second detecting unit. FIG. 7A illustrates a section as viewed from the line VIIA-VIIA in FIG. 6. FIG. 7B illustrates a section as viewed from the line VIIB-VIIB in FIG. 6.
[0068]In the in-vehicle input device 200, the same components as those in the in-vehicle input device 100 are designated by the same reference numerals...
third embodiment
[0077]An exemplary configuration and operations of the in-vehicle input device 300 according to a third embodiment of the present invention will now be described with reference to FIGS. 2, 8, and 9. FIG. 8 is an enlarged plan view of part of the in-vehicle input device 300. FIG. 9 is an enlarged sectional view of part of the in-vehicle input device 300. FIG. 9 illustrates a section as viewed from the line IX-IX in FIG. 8.
[0078]In the in-vehicle input device 300, the same components as those in the in-vehicle input device 100 are designated by the same reference numerals. A detailed description of these components is omitted.
[0079]As illustrated in FIG. 2, the in-vehicle input device 300 includes two touch panels 30 mounted on the right and left of the central part 60a of the steering wheel 60 of the vehicle such that the touch panels 30 are adjacent to the wheel part 60b, or so that the operator can easily operate the in-vehicle input device 300.
[0080]As illustrated in FIG. 9, each ...
